2.9.1 Rigging Pin Installation

Pin Installation

The following example shows how to use the rigging pins to join two TBV123

cabinets together. Exact details are given in later chapters of this manual.

1. Support the weight of the cabinets to be joined.

2. Align the top mounting link (1) of the lower TBV123 cabinet with the

corresponding mounting holes in the upper TBV123 cabinet.

Align the link with the mounting holes so the pin can pass through

and join them together.

3. Press the button (2) at the end of the pin, and insert the pin in as far as

it will go. The spring balls (3) will retract while the button is being held,

allowing the pin to pass through the holes.

4. Release the button (2) when the pin is fully inserted.

5. Check the pin is correctly inserted as far as it will go, and that both spring

balls (3) are visible. Check that the components being connected have been

correctly captured together by the pin.

6. With the weight of the components still supported, and without pressing

the button (2), try to pull on the pin sharply, to check it is secured in position

by the spring ball locking mechanism.

7. Rotate the arm of the pin until it is captured by the spring clip (4).

This makes the pin extra secure, and will also prevent the pins from

vibrating and rattling when the speaker is in use.

8. Repeat the pin installation for the other side of the cabinets.

Pin Removal

1. Support the weight of the components to be disconnected.

2. Rotate the arm of the pin until it is released by the spring clip (4).

3. Press the button (2) and pull out the pin joining the components together.

4. Do this for both sides of the cabinet.

5. Carefully separate the cabinets.

TBV118L subwoofers. Before use, it must be assembled by securing

the arms to the main bar using the supplied rigging pins.

1. Main Bar – The main bar has six suspension pick points

including one at the front. These 13 mm diameter holes are used

to attach a bow shackle or similar lifting equipment for ying the

assembly.

Use the EASE FOCUS II software to determine the correct y point

for each conguration. The main bar is only used with the arms

(2) attached.

2. Arms – These connect to the main bar (1) using two supplied

rigging pins (3). Note: The main bar is supplied with a rubber

U-gasket to protect loudspeaker enclosures suspended below the

TBV123-FB. Always attach arms so that the rubber U-gasket is

oriented downwards.

3. Rigging Pins – These rigging pins are used to secure arms

(2) to the main bar (1) and TBV123 or TBV118L mount links to the

arms (2).

4. Mounting Links and Pins– These extra components

are supplied so that the TBV123 cabinets can be suspended

under TBV123-FB or TBV118L subwoofers in inverted orientation

for mirror image LR congurations. Keep these components in a

safe and dry place if not used.

5. Feet– These are used when the TBV123-FB Flybar is inverted

and used to support a ground stack conguration.

Suspend the array by attaching one or more bow shackles or similar

lifting devices with a pin diameter (D) to t the 13 mm diameter

suspension pick point. Typically, manufacturers of bow shackles

provide suitable devices with pin diameters between 11 mm and

19 mm, and with work loads between 1 tonnes and 3.25 tonnes.

If third-party shackles are used, they must be of the correct size and

correct WLL, and must be supplied and specied by an

authorised person.

 WARNING

INSTALLATION AND SETUP SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY

QUALIFIED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL OBSERVING THE VALID
